LOL

 

Although why anyone would want 1 Scooter song never mind 2 is a mystery !

[patrickq1]

Just got a 2nd letter ( Scooter ).... you sent us a template blah blah blah.... which is ironic because thats how they contacted me in the first place and responded

 

Any way - considering I told them a) I didnt do it and b) own the CD it sounds like they are happy for me to show up in court with it.

 

Will send the 2nd out this week witch some extra narrative & photo.

ask them for a copy of it so you would be better to understand what they are talking about he he...otherwise tell em to jump into thames and drown themselves they are just a bunch of shysters and just short of being classed as blackmailers tell em P OAF...

I wonder where they are getting these figures from, as yours has gone down and mine has gone up from £501 to £625.

Whats that all about?

[Huff&Puff]

They throw dice to determine the amount They may as well do, because I'd like to see how they would show those levels of losses in court

Have they not realised any losses they have are because the song is so bad!! I mean I hadn't even heard of it, and looked it up on you tube.

Surely anyone who takes a look at that, can see why they are at a loss!!

 

Maybe we can get our own back on ACS LAW and stand outside their offices and play it all day haaa!! Problem is I couldnt bear to listen for that long, a few minutes on 'you tube' was enough for me!

[patrickq1]

i just cant understand why no one justs sends back a curt note with PROSECUTE OR REMOVE ME FROM YOUR malicious threatograms

but please be aware the case will be vigourosly contested and we shall seek monetary damages ,and also shall consider once proven in the courtroom i have not as presumed will be asking the police to instigate possible procceedings for attempted blackmail

I,m wondering if you add some of your own words into the template letter, they give you a reduced fee, where if your like me and you dont add anything additional they bump it up.

Did anyone else who only used to template get an increased fee?

Just incase I have added a whole paragraph in my own words! Haa

LOL. I'll let you know when I receive my third template letter from them.

[T5 boy]

Hi all, just joined today..

 

I too have now recieved my second letter from acs with regards this Scooter song. Mine has also gone up from 500 to 525 saying if i do not pay they will add more costs.....I too used the LOD template as advised in this thread. I'm also going to send my second LOD today but will probably use some of my own words...

I also have a friend who has had the same second letter but is has gone above 600!!!!!!! Very confusing as you would have thought we would all be charged the same amount...

Exactly, not sure why they are charging everyone different amounts,

as mine started as £501, and after I sent the first LOD Template letter, it went upto £625. Other people have sent a reply and had there fee reduced to £425, therefore not sure why these figures are so different for everyone. Surely if your being sued for losses, that figure should be the same for everyone. I think they are making this up as they go along.

To prevent the reponse I got advising they will not accept what i,m saying at face value because I have used a template off the internet, I would suggest you add some of your own words to your LOD. I did visit the cititizens advice, and they contacted Consumer Direct on my behalf who have logged my details, and given me a contact number to use should I get any more letters.

I have just sent my second letter of denial today as advised by consumer direct. I have used some bits out of the template to deny the offence, but I have also stated any action I have taken eg contacting citizens advice, consumer direct and the ICO and I have also mentioned I do have a wireless internet connection as consumer direct suggested putting this is also. I will keep you posted with my next response.

Safe to say that this ACS Law are a shambles of an outfit & dont seem to know what they are doing from 1 day to the next.

They went to a court to obtain IP addresses - big wow.

Back in the real world..they are like rabbits in the headlight now that the authorites are coming at them from all angles/everyone knows their rights & is telling them to get lost effectivley.

Never has 1 companies messy demise been as fun to watch as what it is of these rogues

[robjam1969]

Starting to feel left out. :grin:

 

Sent LOD back in may for some useless game and heard nothing since.

 

Wonder why I didn't get second letter?

[mr.ton]

Even though i havent had 1 of the letters..i thought id give them a ring & pretend that i had.

I ended up having a brief chat with the woman on reception - i asked her if she was getting alot of angry phone calls from people in general, "Oh yeah" she replied....i started mentioning various authorities...she couldnt wait to get me off the phone

Maybe you should let us know what you said in your LOD, and we could all try the same response! haa

Hopefully they will then leave everyone else alone!

On no forgot that may be classed as a template then, and we know they only allow templates for themselves!!

[cerberusalert]

I'll send you one;

 

Dear mr.ton,

 

You owe me £670.73, pay up or else I'll take you to court where additional costs will be added.

 

yours,

Cerb.

rogues good call mr t

i for one cant understand why people are playing their game i would nt even send the a lod i would instruct them prosecute if you dare otherwise any further mail shall be treated as an attempt to blackmail and shall pass to the police...ime saying this because i ave never downloaded anything like this and even if i had it is upto them to prove it?

[mr.ton]

Haa your funny, you can ring them again and pretend to be me if you want

 

With pleasure

[T5 boy]

Has anyone tried getting intouch with the pirate party? I have sent an email off to them today asking if they can advise or shed any light on this situation but i was wondering if anyone else had tried and had a response.:???::???::???:

[cerberusalert]

Like i said, they may have gone to a court to obtain IP addresses -

All that has done is harvested a list of names & addresses of people who may or may not have been on-line at a particular time. It certainly doesn't prove that anything illicit was downloaded, only a forensic examination of the hard-drives would show that.

[gart57]

Hi everyone iv not recieved one of these letters but after i stumbled

across this story i got a little interested in it a did a bit of digging around

I've not read every post (45 pages Guys!!) so it may already have been mentioned

 

the websites

acs-law.co.uk/.org.uk [/font]

 

are both registered at the same address

18 Hanover Square

London

W1S 1HX

United Kingdom

 

a 'virtual office' available from avanta.co.uk they provide all aspects of an office including reception staff (sorry guys you've been shouting down the phone at the wrong person)

 

also sites are registared to 2 different ppl soho technology which seems to be a genuine IT firm

 

and Terence Tsang who as mentioned in previous posts has a slightly dubious history after having a nose around a bit i think this whole [problem] may be his.

intrestingly he list on his interests on twitter get this ....Web design, legal services and Intellectual Property. what a joke its like hes laughing at everyone in the open

 

 

• well obviously don't pay
  

• report to all the services people have mentioned eg; police, oft, etc
  

• report it to the companies above if hes using them too they probably wont like it
  

• *EDITED*
  

have fun

i just had a look at ole terence on **EDITED** it seems that in april he was searching 'for law firm accounting software with project costing integrated'.

id have thought he'd just use the software left over from the davenport lyons thing.

so who found who? did he find acs or did they find him?
